Hello everyone,

Have you ever wanted to release a map, but you weren't sure if it was ready?

If you answered "Yes" to that question than you've come to the right place!
Using my service, you don't have to worry about your map any longer!
Here's 4 easy steps to releasing a bugless and glitchless custom map:

1. Create your map

2. PM me with a download link for your map

3. I will test the map and attempt to find all of the bugs and exploits, then I will send you a PM with an unlisted Youtube video showing all of the bugs. The video is unlisted so only you will be able to watch it.

4. You can fix all the bugs I found and release a perfect map!

If you are skeptical of my skill, watch these short informational videos and I guarantee you will be amazed!

This video just shows my basic skill at Portal:

These videos show how well I can find bugs in maps:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj3eNPrLnhs (This one is an actual map from Portal 2)

If you crave more informational video content, just check out my youtube channel, I have tons of these videos.
(Please note that I did not show all of the bugs in these videos, but I will for you!)

Remeber, PM now! If you PM within the next 30 seconds, you'll get a free imaginary high-five!
If you decide to PM me, please post here that you did.

Thanks for your time, I hope to test your maps soon!

Ha! Only n00bs release maps with bugs. But I'll be sure to put some in when I'm about to release a map next time to test your skills. :thumbup:

I would fix your second and third links. They have elipses in them. Just seems important since you're talking about credibility here.

I may consider you before I release a map.

Picture that. In your dreams.

Wow, thanks. I don't know how those links broke...
Fixed them now.

If I make my map pack "The Part Where Everything Goes to Hell," I'll let you know. I bet you might find a few bugs, as long as you don't get killed while looking for them. It will be a very dangerous map pack.

Is it really relevant to offer one's services? I just figured there would be a general call for assistance, and the mapper would choose the user(s) he/she wanted to work with most.

There's some of both.

If it does not bother that I'm German and my english vocabulary is limited, I would be chuffed to testing coop maps together with you?!

Visit me on ? youtube ?

It is relevant and like Hober said,

You can't ask for assistance without knowing who is willing to testplay a map.
